Nyanplot. He was the 3rd of 6 children born in the family. He was raised surrounded by his brothers, Robert, Moses, Winston and his sisters, Priscilla, and Winifred. Growing up in Monrovia, Junior was thoughtful, caring and enjoyed the time shared with his siblings and friends. He loved hunting and fishing on his grandfather's farm. Junior received his early education in Monrovia where he attended the AGM High School. In 2008, Junior united in holy matrimony to the former Eve Neblett. To this union two children, Courage and Yamah were born. He was also the proud father of Felix and Momodu. Junior loved his children unconditionally and the time he shared with them was immeasurable. They remember their father as loving, kind and nurturing. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his children. They loved him more than words can say.
